Cloud Asset Management System Automating Record Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Asset management within large organizations is challenging due to the need for accurate and interactive tracking of assets, including location, usage, and permission levels, which requires extensive record-keeping and linking to other relevant records, posing a significant burden on end users.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic asset management system in a cloud-based computing platform that automatically generates asset records, links them to other records, generates interactive simulations, and triggers actions in response to asset interactions, using APIs, imaging devices, vision detection systems, drones, and manual configuration to gather and process data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated asset tracking and record generation is implemented, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but device complexity and system infrastructure requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated self-service functionality where the asset management system automatically generates asset records, detects asset interactions, and triggers appropriate actions without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously tracks asset locations, monitors usage, and manages permission levels through automated processes, reducing the need for manual record-keeping while improving productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The asset management system is designed as a multi-functional platform that combines asset tracking, record generation, interaction detection, permission management, and automated action triggering within a single unified system. This universal approach consolidates multiple functions into one system, improving efficiency while managing complexity through integration rather than separate systems.
2Reliability
If comprehensive asset records with extensive linking are maintained, then information completeness and reliability are improved, but ease of operation and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates and maintains comprehensive asset records with all necessary linkages and information connections without requiring users to manually create or update these records. The automated record generation ensures complete and accurate information while eliminating the manual burden of maintaining such comprehensive documentation, thereby improving both reliability and ease of operation.
3Ease of operation
If manual asset tracking and record-keeping is performed, then ease of operation is maintained, but productivity and time consumption are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automated asset tracking, record generation, and interaction monitoring without requiring manual operations. By implementing self-service automation, the system eliminates time-consuming manual record-keeping tasks while maintaining ease of operation through user-friendly interfaces for viewing and managing assets. The automated processes handle time-intensive tasks while preserving operational simplicity for users.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and systems are provided for automatically generating asset records that are stored and maintained at a database system of a cloud-based computing system. Asset information can be acquired for assets from sources regarding the assets or a representation of the assets. The asset information can be processed to detect assets and analyzed to determine an asset type for each detected asset. For each detected asset, based on an asset type of that detected asset, pertinent header information for that detected asset can be extracted (e.g., asset information and data for that detected asset, associated properties of each detected asset, etc.). An asset record for each detected asset can then be generated, and then stored at the database system, for example, as a row in an asset object of the database system, where each asset record for each detected asset includes pertinent header information for that detected asset.
